## Description

**UTSSites Auto FAQ Schema** is the most intelligent, fully automatic FAQ schema
plugin for WordPress. While other plugins make you manually enter every question
and answer, this plugin **reads your existing content** — headings, paragraphs, 
bold text — and **automatically generates perfect Google-ready FAQPage JSON-LD schema**
in seconds.

Install. Activate. Done. No shortcodes. No manual work. No coding required.

> ⚡ **Zero config. Auto detect. Unlimited FAQs. Google-ready schema. Instant rich
> snippets.**

#### 🏆 Why Choose UTSSites Auto FAQ Schema?

 * ✅ **Zero manual work** — no questions to enter, no shortcodes to add
 * ✅ **3 smart detection strategies** — headings, paragraphs, bold text
 * ✅ **40+ question patterns** — detects any natural question format
 * ✅ **Unlimited FAQs** — no artificial limits in the free version
 * ✅ **100% Google compliant** — passes Rich Results Test every time
 * ✅ **Zero performance impact** — no JS, no API calls, no slowdowns
 * ✅ **Free forever** — GPL open source, no license keys needed

#### ⚡ How It Works — Fully Automatic

Every time a visitor loads your page, the plugin silently:

 1. **Checks eligibility** — Is this post type enabled? Is this page excluded? Is schema
    active for this post?
 2. **Scans your content** — Runs 3 detection strategies in priority order
 3. **Deduplicates** — Removes duplicate questions found across strategies
 4. **Applies limits** — Trims to your configured FAQ limit and answer length
 5. **Injects schema** — Outputs valid FAQPage JSON-LD into your head
 6. **Google indexes it** — Rich snippet dropdowns appear in search results

The entire process adds less than 1ms to page load. Truly invisible.

#### 🔎 3 Smart Detection Strategies

**Strategy 1 — H2 to H5 Heading Detection (Highest Priority)**

Scans all question-style headings in your content. Any H2, H3, H4, or H5 that ends
with “?” or contains a question word is automatically detected. The paragraph immediately
following becomes the answer. You choose which heading levels to include from Settings.

**Strategy 2 — Paragraph Tag Detection**

No heading structure needed. If any paragraph contains a sentence starting with 
a question word and ending with “?”, the question is extracted automatically — and
the next paragraph becomes the answer. Perfect for blog articles and natural prose.

**Strategy 3 — Bold / Strong Tag Detection**

Detects questions inside strong or b tags. Perfect for FAQ-style content where questions
are bolded and answers follow in the next paragraph.

#### 📈 Why FAQ Schema Matters for Your SEO

Google displays FAQ rich snippets for content with valid FAQPage schema. These expandable
dropdowns appear directly below your search listing:

 * 2 to 5x more SERP visibility — your listing dominates the page
 * Higher Click-Through Rate — more screen space means more clicks
 * Lower bounce rate — users who click already know what to expect
 * Competitive advantage — most sites still don’t use FAQ schema

## FAQ

### Does this require any manual FAQ entry or shortcodes?

No. Zero manual work. The plugin automatically detects questions from your existing
content — headings, paragraphs, bold text. No shortcodes, no custom fields, no manual
input of any kind.

### Is the FAQ limit really unlimited in the free version?

Yes. The free version has no FAQ limit — you can detect and inject as many FAQs 
as your content contains. You can also set a custom cap from Settings if you prefer.

### Will this slow down my website?

No. The plugin outputs a single tiny JSON-LD script tag in your page head. There
is no frontend JavaScript, no external HTTP requests, no database queries on the
front end. Performance impact is zero.

### Can I exclude specific posts or pages?

Yes. Add post/page IDs to the Exclude IDs field in Settings, or use the sidebar 
meta box in the post editor to disable schema for that specific post.

### Does it conflict with Rank Math or Yoast SEO?

No. The plugin outputs a separate JSON-LD block for FAQPage schema only. Multiple
JSON-LD blocks are fully supported by Google.

### Does it work with Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, and page builders?

Yes. Works with all major page builders that use WordPress native the_content filter.

### Is this plugin GDPR compliant?

Yes. No external HTTP requests, no user data stored, no cookies, no tracking of 
any kind. Fully GDPR compliant.

Yes. Pro adds Manual FAQ Builder, AI Suggestions (Gemini/GPT-4/Groq), HowTo Schema,
